Makes sense. Looks like they can generally be called up by any team except under 2-way or if they’ve been assigned, neither of which are the case with GG. Hope he gets a look somewhere.

if he is capable of this type of output against G-league talent it is curious how he never approached this level over the years against A10 talent. I wonder why that is.
the rebouding change is staggering.
just noticed Gilly is now leading the league in apg (if that wasn't already mentioned). he's at 9.7 while Stockton is at 9.5.
Yep, he moved into the top spot a couple of weeks ago.
There's another Spider out there who can dish the ball too.

Like a completely different player than he was here. Amazing. Good for him, I hope he gets the call and makes a ton of cash.
I really think someone finally bought GG some contact lenses. The kid had no depth perception. Glad he is playing so well and hope he gets a big check like Mooney.

Just some food for thought 😏
In 161 games for us he reached double digit rebounds 22 times and he already has 16 such games in the G-League not even halfway through the first season.
Someone from the pom pom mafia will have to explain that one to us.
I won't say his rebounding hasn't improved, but keep in mind they're playing 48 fast-paced minutes and putting up ~120 points a night. He's playing more minutes and there are lots more rebounds to be had.
agreed. it's a different game. and g-league stats are inflated. his 19.1 ppg ranks 38th in the league. that's a lot of points.
really happy he's having this kind of success. he's not playing above himself either. his shooting percentages haven't changed. but he's a great big in today's game (if he can defend at this level). coaches will love the passing.
No player of the game award tonight, but Grant did almost have a triple double with 16, 9, and 8.

You can say stats are inflated by pace/game length - only if you're comparing G league stats to his college stats. He is, however, averaging more rebounds than any other player in the same league, which is not at all a relative stat inflation, just a tangible thing, as all those other players play games of the same length and pace.
Note: this probably should have been aimed at SF, not sman, but same difference. He's playing really well and one component of that is an area we didn't see much of during his years at UR, so it's noteworthy.
That sky hook was really sweet, btw.
Absolutely, he measures up great...can't dispute that he's 4th in the league in rebounding, which is obviously fantastic. I just meant that comparing raw numbers like double-figure rebound games can overstate things a bit.
He's averaging 36.5 minutes per game, 6th in the league. He averaged 27.5 at UR. Some of those 7, 8, 9 rebound games at UR would have been double-figure games if he'd had another 10 minutes on the court. But it certainly wouldn't have raised him to his current rate of hitting double figures.
And at least among G League peers, even if you account for his high minutes by ranking rebounds per 48 minutes, he'd be 5th in the league.

Raw numbers/averages are certainly influenced by game length and PT but regardless he’s showing out well against peers.
I suspect a ton of it has to do with the systems being run (or not run) and expectations for him. He clearly had been instructed to run back to D for the most part in our system rather than hunt rebounds on the O glass. He’s averaging 2.6 ORB per game it looks like, something we would think unheard of for a Richmond player during his time here.

There were people on this board that frequently criticized Grant while at Richmond. He is one of the the top 2 centers in Richmond history, where he had 120 more rebounds than any other player over the past 60 years and was our 2nd highest all-time scorer. He also ranked in the top 5 in assists and 2nd in efficiency ratio. I give Mooney an A+ in developing him and believe he will have a terrific professional career.

I agree, Mooney is wonderful. Grant's G-league performance has earned coach another extension in my eyes.
Thank you. I knew my insightful post would help educate you eventually.
I loved GG when he was here. Always said he was the best offensive player on our team. With that said, it was some times infuriating how many inside shots he missed and his unwillingness to take over on the offensive end when we needed him.
Cline was arguably a more talented player and he’s also accomplished a lot in his professional career.
I’m looking forward to GG getting a shot in nba soon!!
Nice game from SDJ today...22 points with a game-high +17 +/-, plus 9 assists.

Couple of our guys back in action tonight following the break, and they both came away with wins.

What time is the G to G faceoff, and is it available to watch anywhere? I would love to see if Gilyard can steal one of Golden's passes.
Showing NBA.TV which sadly appears to be $65 per month .. some of the games are on espn+ but not this one it seems.
NBA TV is a pretty basic-level channel. Might require a sports package with some providers, but others like YouTube TV give it to everyone as part of the basic package. (The $65/month thing is NBA League Pass, not NBA TV.)
Game is at 8pm Eastern.
